verse 1 
   G                                            D 
There's an old man living in the back of your woods tonight 
     Em                                   C 
You forgot he was even there, but you've never slipped his mind 
  G                                       D 
He's living off of scraps of you you never knew you left behind 
     Em7                                   C 
And as the sun goes down, he rises with a smile 




[Refrão]
                            C 
He's waiting on the night to fall 
                        G 
The old man's coming to call 
 D                               Em7 
You don't see the writing on the wall 
                            C 
He'll never step out in the light 
                    G 
No, he's just biding time 
              D                                    Em 
And while you slumber, he's gonna come and take it all 
                            C       Em 
He's waiting on the night to fall 
                            Am7     A7 
He's waiting on the night to fall 


verse 2 
  G                                          D 
He knows you have the answers, but Truth lies dusty on your shelf 
         Em7                                               C 
And the sword that you could slay him with has become an ornament and nothing else 
           G                                                 D 
You could put him back down in his hole in the ground, but he knows you never will 
         Em7                                 C 
He's been around so long you got used to the smell

He'll never step out in the light 
                    G 
No, he's just biding time 
              D                                    Em

Bridge 
    C 
He knows he'll never have your soul 
    G 
But he will gladly rob you blind 
    D                                      Em 
While you're feasting at his table, he'll tie your hands and numb your mind 
    C 
He'll take you farther than you wanna go 
    G 
He'll keep you longer than you wanna stay 
     Em                                              D 
And it will cost you more than you ever thought you'd pay
